Hello everyone! This is Saori from Kawaii Republic!

Today! We're checking out a merchandise theme that celebrated a certain character's 5th anniversary! It's a bit rare for a Rilakkuma collection, as it actually dives into a prequel story......!

【RILAKKUMA】 Chairoikoguma's 5th anniversary theme! How did Chairoikoguma spend his days just before meeting Rilakkuma and friends? A rare look into his past, the “Chairoikoguma's Friends” merchandise theme is here!

A merchandise theme focused on Chairoikoguma just before he met Rilakkuma and friends!
The truth about Chairoikoguma is......!? Together with cute friends, the “Chairoikoguma's Friends” theme is now available!

Today, let's look back at the 'Chairoikoguma's Friends' theme! Before meeting Rilakkuma...... how did Chairoikoguma spend his time?

It seems that back then, Chairoikoguma had just started living on his own and was a bit shy around others. He met various animals every day but would get discouraged when he couldn't greet them properly...... This collection captures the exact moment Chairoikoguma met Aoi ko ookami (the blue wolf pup)!

Since this theme was originally released around springtime, many items feature soft, spring-like pastel shades and gorgeous color palettes! Along with fluffy Chairoikoguma plushies, there are travel pouches, bags, and multi-cases that are just incredibly cute!

The Chairoikoguma of the past is so shy and adorable......! It's actually a pretty rare collection where Rilakkuma himself isn't in the lineup, so everyone, please check out the 'Chairoikoguma's Friends' theme!
